I wonder how many boxes you can get if you win the raffle.

We'll see if Topps 'controls' the raffle. Its not like they are going to show us how they randomize it on a live site

You can definitely enter.

Not sure how it affects eligibility to win though.

Of course not, but all of these bots can just spam entires with the accounts created for general purchases, so it makes it pointless either way.

People will find a reason to complain no matter what.

Only people that should have an issue with the raffle are the people botting that wont have a shot to monopolize the remaining boxes.

You don’t need a link. Just go to your account page and it’s on the bottom left side of the page

I managed to win one raffle last year. I can't remember which, though.

Yes. Would be nice just to have something as simple as must have had a purchase on topps.com prior to June 1st... or something to that effect. I mean it won't do much though as I'm sure there's enough accounts created to get around the limits they set anyway.

Topps finally got their act together and made how much you pay for shipping tie directly into how quickly the product shows up at your door. Its quite interesting how long that took lol. Was flying high for a while paying $0 for economy shipping to have something show up next day in NY

Anyone get shipping notices on the public sale boxes? Also, does the raffle affect yesterday’s purchases? They wouldn’t cancel all orders from yesterday would they?

Awesome hits, bad for some us. I gotten missing hits in my last sapphire boxes. This means some boxes will have nothing and others loaded

Are we sure about this? I chose the cheapest option and got a pretty quick shipping notification. Is there any evidence that they sent out the overnight orders immediately?

Purchased on Tuesday with overnight shipping and just shipped this morning. So there were some with the cheapest shipping option that were shipped first.

Agreed with not being sure about this. Paid for the cheapest and they'll be here tomorrow since I live in PA.

Does anyone know if MC members who already purchased their 3 will have their orders canceled if they order 2 more via lottery?

I love the raffle idea. Not sure why it ever stopped, honestly. And for those wondering, burner accounts may enter, but they are blocked from winning. Not sure what the cutoff is, but I believe you need to make order(s) with an account to be eligible.

Topps won't cancel orders from MC members made via lottery or public offering.

I'm sure that they aren't doing that. I did overnight on my Tuesday order, and I just got the shipping confirmation a few minutes ago.
